I was doing something I don't know what and for a second I really understood that education is useless. And that ee cumming idea of learning is forgetting and that you come into the world knowing everything you need to know. And that the stated goal of the education system as it was taught to me in teacher school is to create "human capital". It's all just kinda gross.
We cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other. I hold our actual knowledge very cheap. Hear the rats in the wall, see the lizard on the fence, the fungus under foot, the lichen on the log. What do I know sympathetically, morally, of either of these worlds of life? These creatures have kept their counsel beside him, and there is no record of any word or sign that has passed from one to the other.
